摘要：GPU的可负担性和计算能力使其成为新兴研究领域的焦点，旨在探索其通用计算性能。GPGPU，因为这个研究领域被称为，涉及可编程GPU的计算能力的探索，以及通过算法和软件开发它们对非图形应用程序的适用性。尽管在众多应用中使用这些专用设备存在一些挑战，但它们的属性和某些应用的显著加速仍然使它们成为一个有吸引力的研究平台。
Abstract : The affordability and computational power of GPUs have made them the focus of an emerging area of research designed to explore their performance for general-purpose computation. GPGPU, as this area of research is called, involves the exploration of the computational power of programmable GPUs and their suitability for non-graphics applications through algorithm and software development. Although there are some challenges with using these specialized devices for numerous applications, their attributes and significant speedup for some applications continue to make them an attractive platform for research.
